My house's living room carpet is getting really dirty and ugly. So I decided to deep-clean it yesterday, but our Bissell Quicksteamer (which never did a good job anyway) is dead. It has been making this horrid noise for months but now it way too loud. It's 7 years old, so I really don't mind getting a new one. So, I need help deciding which deep-cleaner to get. I have three in mind. 1.The Dirtdevil EasySteamer ( www.dirtdevil.com/Products/produc... ) 2. A shampooing attachment for my Kirby Heritage II 3. Or, if I wait till Christmas, this Hoover LS edition ( www.hoover.com/product.aspxQUESTI... ) Which one cleans better? If anyone is willing to sell me a Kirby Heritage II shampooer, email me. I'd be glad to take it. Thanks, Nathaniel |

I would wait for the Hoover LS, I think it is the best performing shampooer on your list. The DirtDevil is cheap and not very effective, and the Kirby shampooer leaves alot of soap in your carpet. |

I really favor any "SprinScrub". I have had my Gold Edition for years, and it still works great, it's just a bit worn out. I believe its about 9 or 10 years, not positive though. The spin scrub hand tool works great on stains also, and correct me if I am wrong, but on the newer ones they still might have the "bare floor tool" I think it is called, I have no clue. It kind of makes it similar to a "Floormate" in an odd sort of way. They are great machines.

The kirby shampooer system is only good if you can rinse it out with someting else, otherwise it's just a novility in my oppion. |

We used my Sentria Carpet Cleaner once, and I was half tempted to get rid of it. It was PATHETIC. I have used the shampooer before on previous Kirby's, but never REALLY actually looked at the effictivness until last year when my dog decided to make a big mess. lol. I have been so disappointed with it...

I've decided to buy a Bissell from overstock.com. It's the powerlifter model. I haven't bought it yet, so if it's really bad you can tell me. I have a question. When I won the kirby contest they gave me this "Heavy Traffic" pre-cleaner for shampooing with the Kirby. I was wondering if I could use this with a Bissell or whatever. The dirty carpet is getting to me and we need a deep-cleaner really soon. It's so matted that my Hoover Convertible won't show any carpet-lines! :( I was thinking about the Hoover spinscub brushes, and I noticed that wouldn't it spinning like that push DOWN the dirt? I don't know. Thanks |
